NIKL Technical Analysis: What to Do if You Missed Today’s Ceiling Play

NIKL Technical Analysis

Nickel Asia Corporation (NIKL) closed at P4.11 per share, up by 50 percent, as of closing on September 2, 2019. The total turnover value was P761,354,480.00. The main players of NIKL today were the local traders.

Foreign investors registered a Net Foreign Buying worth P 157,155,260.00. This is the first time this year that foreign investors registered a Net Foreign Buying that big. Today’s Net Foreign Buying puts the foreign investors in a net buyer’s mode.

Today’s ceiling play has put all oscillators in an exaggerated mode.

So I am not going to say anything about RSI, Historical Volatility, and DMI for now. For as long as you know where your trailing stop loss is, you’re fine.

What was the catalyst on today’s ceiling play?

It’s Indonesia’s announcement that it will ban all nickel ore exports from January 2020.

You have a problem if you don’t know what a trailing stop loss is and how to calculate it.

But if you attended my Evergreen Strategy in Trading and Investing in the Philippine Stock Market seminar (advanced stock market seminar with my proprietary methods in doing technical analysis), you are not clueless.

Brush up on your notes for lesson number 6.

Trade-Volume Distribution

NIKL was force-closed at its intraday high of 4.11 today. That’s the dominant singular price point today. If NIKL starts tomorrow below 4.11, it might play actively between 3.90 and 4. The next dominant range below 3.90 is between 3.30 and 3.60.

Overall, the Momentum Power Indicator is bullish.

Recommendations

If you have NIKL…

If you still have NIKL, make sure that you did an upward adjustment on your trailing stop loss relative to your percentage of risk tolerance.

Review your handouts for Lesson # 6. If and when NIKL will show signs of a weakening upward momentum tomorrow, especially when the Momentum Power Indicator turns bearish, immediately do an adjustment on your percentage of risk applied to your trailing stop loss.

If you’re planning to trade it…

If you don’t have NIKL, I suggest that you monitor the price action within the first minute of trading tomorrow.
